Fruit Pizza

This is a favorite summer dessert at our house.  With all the berries and fruit available in the summer  you can use many different toppings.

Fruit Pizza

Ingredients

2 cups flour
1 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup powdered sugar

8 oz. cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Fresh fruit - strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwi, peaches, bananas, grapes etc

1 cup fruit juice
1/4-1/3  cup white sugar
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1 Tbsp lemon juice

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

For crust mix flour, butter and powdered sugar together.  Press in to a pizza pan or a jellyroll pan. Bake for 15-25  minutes, until lightly browned.    Cool.

For first layer beat together cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar and vanilla until smooth.  Spread on cooled crust.

For second layer, arrange any amount or combination of fruit on top of the cream cheese.

For glaze in a small saucepan heat fruit juice, 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice.  Bring to a boil and cook until slightly thickened.  Cool slightly and drizzle over fruit. I like to use a small paint brush to cover the fruit with the glaze.

Refrigerate.
